Looking for suggestions for an efficient radiator for a 1970 340 Plymouth Cuda.  Not looking for a reproduction, just thoughts on a good radiator for my project. This group always has great ideas and recommendations.  Thanks!

Here are some choices I found at Summit.

I just put this in my Cuda this summer, and other than some slight filing of mounting holes, it works above my expectations.... this one is for an automatic, fyi

Thanks!  I liked how they actually asked for the VIN letter in the Application part on Summit.

I would suggest making sure they will accept a factory fan shroud.

Good point.  But I'm not using the factory clutch fan and the shroud while nice if it fits isn't a game breaker if I don't use it.  But again, fantastic point.

It says in the description from Summit that the radiator is for a big block?  Just curious.  Thanks.

DO NOT USE THE 751... the radiator ports do not match!!! (Don't ask me how I know...)

the 752 is for big blocks AND the 340... it's buried in the Cold Case literature for it... mine installed with very little trouble, and ports were top driver's side inlet, and bottom passenger side outlet, with Automatic Transmission ports center bottom...

Thank you, thank you, thank you.  I won't ask and I don't want to find out.  The 752 it is.  I'm not sure why I feel so relieved but I do lol.

As long as your input and output ports are as I stated, and you have an automatic, it's the one...

They have a similar one (without the A) for manual tranny...

Sorry. The motors on a test stand.  An automatic bolts up to it.
